To practice and further understand several concepts and the challenges of robotics, we designed a simple reactive robot with the task of autonomously being able to navigate a non-trivially shaped wall, in the form of a “V” or “W”, by staying close to it while moving around it indefinitely.

To do this, we used the tools provided by the widely known in the world of robotics software, Robot Operating System (ROS), along with the Simple Two Dimensional Robot Simulator (STDR Simulator), that allows designing robots in a two-dimensional area.
